1.8T Coolant Leak
« on: 07 December 2014, 15:40 »
Got a coolant leak on my 1.8T AUQ engine.

I have already changed the coolant temp sensor housing, gasket, lower pipe and replaced all the c-clips. It seems to be leaking from around where the SAI combi valve is located and only leaks when revving the engine above 3000rpm.

Had a good look around the area but without taking parts off not able to identify source of leak. Is there any other common areas where it might be coming from?

Thanks
